Preliminary list of TruthQuest topics to cover
In going through the TruthQuest guides, I have highlighted the topics that I want to make certain that I cover by reading aloud and discussing with the children. These topics will get the priority for history time. Other topics can be assigned as independent reading, covered briefly in one day if time is available, simply mentioned by reading the TruthQuest commentary, or skipped. Some of the topics I have chosen because I feel that they are important. Others I have selected simply because I believe the kids will find them fun and interesting. I'll get a better feel for how much I can cover as I preread the books. (Sadly I'm only on those for the War of 1812 so it doesn't look like I'll have all of my planning done before starting as I had hoped.)
